Sound Horizon has always been a favorite band of mine. Each of their albums has captured and held my attention, and ROMAN is no exception. The music is beautiful, the voices are amazing, and the stories woven by the combination of complex word choice and originally scored music are breath taking in their beauty and complexity. Only a true Sound Horizon fan may fully understand the extent of ROMAN's charms, but certainly anyone who loves good music will find a new love affair with ROMAN. The entire album is sung in Japanese with a small bit of French mixed in. The lyrics book is very well done and is quite lovely in appearance even though the Japanese characters are a bit hard to read for someone who isn't very experienced at reading them. Although only half the cover art is see from the CD case the full artwork, done by yokoyan, is beautiful. The copy that I personally bought was printed for sale in Korea; so there was an extra black and white Korean lyric book and some technical Korean written here and there on the packaging.
